JOHANNESBURG - Double Olympic champion Caster Semenya, who has been locked in a battle over her testosterone levels with athletics authorities, said on Wednesday that she has not felt supported by other women in sport.
“Since I have been in sport I have never really felt very supported, I’ve never felt recognized mostly by women,” said Semenya during a women’s conference in Johannesburg where she was the headline speaker. Despite the IAAF receiving support from some current and former athletes, the decision to reduce testosterone levels in women’s athletics has also attracted criticism from human rights organizations. The United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution in support of Semenya in March.
Semenya, who was greeted by cheers at the conference, said she still saw herself as a middle distance runner.
